info-beamer doesn’t have any mechanism for mouse/keyboard base remote control. Manual on-device customization is discouraged as it generally leads to unpredictable results (“which device did I already modify?”, “the device no longer shows my content after a reboot”) and doesn’t scale well.

As for login: The browser package does have [some automation](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/full-screen-browser-with-login/166), but results might vary depending on how the login mechanism works. Does PowerBI not have any mechanism to share a board without explicit login credentials but with a secret url? [This](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-publish-to-web) seems to hint that is it possible, but looks like it is intended for data that’s really public (“Microsoft may display the report on a public website”).
